I’m not sure how to articulate this so bear with my ramblings

Husband buys gun and does 4473 and wife takes it to training class or even open carries it or shoots a car jacker etc

Are they considered one unit so it’s not a legal transfer of the firearm from one to another?

What’s the statute or applicable legalese I can reference?

It would be a gift. You can legally gift a firearm to immediate family without a BG check.


If you are selling to a non-immediate family member, a background check must be done by an FFL (Federal Firearm Licensee).  However, immediate family members do not need background checks done to transfer firearms between one another.  The firearm should not be transferred to any family member who is prohibited from purchasing and/or possessing firearm.  Immediate family is defined as spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, first cousins, aunts, and uncles (in-laws do not apply).  (CRS 18-12-112)

I thought they closed that loophole in 2013.

No gifts or loans

I hope I am wrong

So even if it’s temporary (for the day) they’d consider a transfer but legal among immediate family?

As explained to me by a friend who is a FFL, as long as they are immediate family (inlaws don't count) and there is no cash payment involved, you're gtg. No paperwork necessary.
